Famous quotes containing the words open and/or space:
“For it is not possible to join serpentine wisdom with columbine innocency, except men know exactly all the conditions of the serpent: his baseness and going upon his belly, his volubility and lubricity, his envy and sting, and the rest; that is, all forms and natures of evil: for without this, virtue lieth open and unfenced.”
—Francis Bacon (15611626)
“When my body leaves me
Im lonesome for it.
but body
goes away to I dont know where
and its lonesome to drift
above the space it
fills when its here.”
—Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
